Cortona, Tuscany, Italy · Founded by Jennifer Perez
Jennifer Perez built a career in luxury fashion retail before she found her way to Cortona -- a hilltop town in Tuscany that became her adopted home and the source of everything she now makes. Ivo Angel is the brand she built there: handmade ceramics crafted in small batches by skilled artisans across Tuscany and Umbria, inspired by the textures, rituals, and colors of slow Italian living. Every piece is made to be used, loved, and passed on.
Jennifer Perez spent her career in luxury fashion retail, developing the eye and the standards that come from years spent around the finest things in the world. Then she found Cortona -- an ancient hilltop town in Tuscany, perched above the Val di Chiana, where the pace of life is governed by the seasons, the light, and the ritual of a meal shared slowly around a table -- and she didn't leave.
She founded Ivo Angel in Cortona, drawing on a lifelong love of art, storytelling, and the particular beauty of Italian craft that surrounds her. Every collection reflects where she lives: the textures of Tuscan stone, the colors of Umbrian markets, the ritual of setting a table with care and intention. The ceramics are made in small batches by skilled artisans across Tuscany and Umbria using traditional ceramic techniques -- splatterware in classic Italian kitchen shapes, contemporary glazes in Mediterranean palettes, handmade vases shaped to echo the softness of nature. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just pure craftsmanship, overseen by Jennifer from form and glaze to local artisan collaboration.
Ivo Angel was featured at London Craft Week 2026 -- one of the most prestigious platforms for contemporary craft in the world. On a registry, it's the ceramics category that makes a table feel like it was gathered in Tuscany -- collected slowly, used every day, and loved for a lifetime.
